Gym membership suspension medical certificate in Portugal

The gym membership suspension medical certificate (Atestado médico para suspensão temporária de ginásio) in Portugal confirms that a person is temporarily unfit to attend the gym or engage in physical activity due to illness, injury, or another medical condition. This document is used to officially suspend a gym or fitness membership without losing the remaining paid period.

The certificate does not replace a detailed medical report but serves as confirmation of temporary unfitness for exercise. The doctor determines the recommended suspension period based on the patient’s health condition. Before requesting this document, it is advised to check your gym’s policy, as each club may have different rules. The doctor is not responsible if the certificate is not accepted by the facility.

To get this certificate online in Portugal, fill out the medical questionnaire on the Oladoctor website. The doctor will review your answers, assess your health status, and decide whether a temporary suspension is medically justified.

If confirmed, you will receive the certificate in electronic format, which can be submitted to your gym or fitness centre to request a temporary suspension. If the doctor cannot confirm the need for suspension, the payment will be refunded.

The service costs €39. Payment is made online before the doctor reviews your questionnaire.
